Product Description

In Sid Meier’s Civilization Beyond Earth, you will write the next chapter for humanity as you lead your people into a new frontier and create a new civilization in space. Explore and colonize an alien planet, research new technologies, amass mighty armies, build incredible Wonders and shape the face of your new world.

As you embark on your journey you must make critical decisions. From your choice of sponsor and the make-up of your colony, to the ultimate path you choose for your civilization, every decision opens up new possibilities.

Seed the Adventure: Establish your cultural identity by choosing one of eight different expedition sponsors, each with its own leader and unique gameplay benefits. Assemble your spacecraft, cargo & colonists through a series of choices that directly seed the starting conditions when arriving at the new planet.

Colonize an Alien World: Explore the dangers and benefits of a new planet filled with dangerous terrain, mystical resources, and hostile life forms unlike those of Earth. Build outposts, unearth ancient alien relics, tame new forms of life, develop flourishing cities and establish trade routes to create prosperity for your people.

Technology Web: To reflect progress forward into an uncertain future, technology advancement occurs through a series of nonlinear choices that affect the development of mankind. The technology web is organized around three broad themes, each with a distinct victory condition.

Quest System: Quests are injected with fiction about the planet, and help to guide you through a series of side-missions that will aid in resource collection, unit upgrades, and advancement through the game.

Customer Reviews

2016-03-26desWhile Beyond Earth is a whole other installment to the Civilization franchise, it feels more like an expansion to Civilization V than a game that can stand tall on it's own merits. The biggest difference between the two games is the aesthetics, but aside from that it's essentially just Civ V with what feels like less of a connection, as Beyond Earth introduces worlds and leaders of fiction rather than history. It's not a bad game at the end of the day, but Civ V has built significant foundation over the years and ultimately has more to offer than Beyond Earth. Recommended if you simply want a change in scenery, but that's as far as it goes.
